Find Ancestors

Hi Sarah Many thanks once again for the list and the time you must have spent on my behalf Im hoping I can follow this all up and find some connections somewhere I think a trimmer had something to do with trimming coal in the mines Thanks again judith

Hi Sarah Brilliant! Thank you very much for the marriage details for George OLIVER and Rosanna DAGLISH. Kind regards and God bless you, Lynne x

Brian Morris - I've managed to look at the marriage, but not the baptism yet Tynemouth Christchurch Marriages Robert Ennis of this parish Batchelor and Isabella Wilson of this Parish Spinster were married in this church by Banns this 26th day of May 1833 by me Christ Reed Vicar Robert signs his name, Isabella leaves her mark (x) Witnesses William Wilson and Isabella Young Chris Alexander - This is the only Kidd burial I could find in that period. It could be she was buried elsewhere so won't appear in these registers. Will try for a baptism next time I go. Tynemouth, Christchurch Burials 1856 Elizabeth daughter of John and Elizabeth Kidd, Hudson Street, Buried 16th February, age 3 weeks

Maid Marian - I did find something finally!

Curate George signs his own name, Rosanna leaves an x as her mark Witnesses Jane Langley and Thomas Oxley (I think he might be the parish witness as he's on a lot of the marriages!)

Ok I managed to get some lookups done last night. Apologies for not posting til now. Judith - I found some more English marriages/baptisms Tynemouth, Christchurch Marriages James Thompson of this parish Batchelor and Margaret English of this Parish Spinster were married in this church by banns this 9th day of November 1830 Witnesses Thomas Oxley and James Payne William English of this Parish Batchelor and Mary Lann of this Parish Spinster were married in this church by banns this 26th day of November 1830 Witnesses Elizabeth Gan and Thomas Odly Tynemouth, Christchurch Baptisms 27th October 1816 Jane daughter of James and Isabella English, residence = Howden Pans, father's occupation = Pitman 31st August 1817 Andrew son of Andrew and Elizabeth English, residence = North Shields, occuption = can't make it out! 21st September 1817 William son of Matthew and Mary English, residence = North Shields, father's occupation = Mariner 29th October 1817 Dickson? son of Joseph and Elizabeth English, residence = North Shields, father's occupation = Trimmer?

Am about to go and do some more lookups so look out for my next post tonight :) UPDATE - It seems I needed to book tonight (it's usually quiet on a Wednesday night!). Nevermind I have booked for a space on Friday (library isn't open tomorrow night) so fingers crossed I'll find some bits and pieces then.

thanks judith

Yes the records office is closed so a lot of the parish records are in Morpeth library at the moment. As I live so close to the library I'm offering to do lookups there. Look out for my next Northumberland lookups topic when I put one up (at this rate it'll probably be sometime in March at the earliest) and put your Warkworth and Amble lookups on there. best wishes Sarah

Hi Darth Many thanks for the information, I will now have to try and see what I can make of these, the Andrew Merrin is definitely one of mine I notice you mention the library does that mean that local records are available at North Shilelds library? I have also been trying to find out where records for Hauxley Amble and Warkworth are held, but apparently the main records office is closed Thanks again judith

Judith - I missed the two on the last page of my notes! Baptised 20th December 1815 Elizabeth daughter of Andrew? and Elizabeth English, residence = North Shields, father's occupation = mariner Baptised 24th Decemver 1815 Andrew (Meryn?) son of Matthew and Mary English, residence = North Shields, father's occupation = Mariner

David in France - Not got far enough through the baptism records to reach Sarah yet. Did her dad come from North Shields/Tynemouth? There are several Robert Brown's being baptised during the time period I was looking at. Have you any information about Robert?

Judith - I've been writing down all the English baptisms I've come across in the hope it will start to help break down that brickwall of yours. Born 8th November 1806 Baptised 1st February 1807 Mary Ann English 1st daughter of Joseph English North Shields Labourer by his wife Ann Tweedy native of this parish Born 6th July 1807 Baptised 19th June 1808 Joseph English 3rd son of Thomas English of North Shields Labourer native of ? parish by his wife Catherine ? Native of this parish Born 20th June 1808 Baptised 25th September 1808 James English 4th son of William English North Shields Waterman by his wife Margaret Sluggup native of St John's Parish Born 14th October 1809 Baptised 15th August 1810 Margaret English 1st daughter of Thomas English of North Shields Labourer Native of Great (acliff??) parish by his wife Catherine Hall native of this parish Baptised 7th August 1814 Hannah daughter of John and Ann English, residence = Whitley, father's occupation = shipwright Baptised 24th February 1815 Matthew son of Joseph and Elizabeth English, residence = North Shields, father's occupation = Waterman Baptised 17th Mary 1815 Catherine daughter of Thomas and Catherine English, residence = North Shields, father's occupation = Labourer

Ok I've been in to the library today and I've started doing some of the lookups. I am ONLY doing Christchurch at Tynemouth for the moment. If you want any other parish you will have to wait until I do my next general set of lookups in a few weeks time I'm afraid! Today I've done the baptisms 1805 to 1815. Up until the end of 1812 they have lots of information in them but after 1812 they are fairly basic. Maid Marian - No Stebbins, Stebbens, Stibbins yet

I would appreciate it if you could check for a burial in December 1855: 3 Dec 1855 Elizabeth Ann KIDD d/o Joseph KIDD & Margaret baptised at Northumberland, Tynemouth, born 9 Nov 1855 (Source: BVRI) FreeBMD Deaths Dec Qtr 1855: KIDD Elizabeth Ann Tynemouth 10b 88 (If you should notice any other entries relating to Joseph KIDD & Margaret I would be grateful.) many thanks, Chris

Hi Darth That's very generous of you I'd be very grateful if you could see if you can find a baptism for Sarah Brown, daughter of Robert and Ann Brown, in North Shields in 1836-37. She is on the 1851 census age 14 - all her younger siblings show as born Bishopwearmouth, but she, the eldest is North Shields. Many thanks David

That's fine Darth,in your own time, after all he isin't going anywhere is he? thank's . Dolly......

Hi Sarah Thank you for your kind offer. Would you be able to check please for the marriage of my 3xGreat Grandparents George OLIVER and Rosanna DAGLISH who married at Christ Church on 17 March 1832? I would be interested in knowing if they signed their names or made a mark. Thank you very much. Kind regards and God bless you, Lynne x New Zealand

Dorothy - I will check the Tynemouth Christchurch records for a baptism but North Shields had their own church by 1890 so I may not find him. I'm just concentrating on the one church for the moment as it is a very very very busy church which means it takes a while to search for single names.

That's a nice offer Darth, I'd appreciate a look up for the baptism of Cyrus Simmons, he was born in North Shields 1890. please. His father was Cyrus, mother Louisa. many thanks. Dolly.

Is there any thing in the name of Stebbens Stibbens or Stibbins? Thanks
